Gallium

Gallium is a critical element found at the foundation of various technologies. Compound semiconductors based on gallium are ubiquitous in modern electronic devices. GaAs chips enable connectivity and enable cellular networks, navigation through GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and NIR (near-infrared) technology used for Face ID. GaN is key to handling power conversions in electric vehicles. The versatility of gallium goes further: generating light (LEDs, quantum dots) or electricity (CIGS solar cells), or its use as a dopant in silicon solar cells or high strength magnets. Specialized lithium batteries use a gallium electrolyte to function in high-temperatures.

Our gallium products support these technologies and include high-purity gallium metal, gallium alloys, and gallium compounds. We refine gallium into higher purity versions and reclaim gallium from industrial scrap. Gallium alloys – commonly known as liquid metals – consist of gallium, indium, and tin at various compositions.

Round Shot or Formless

Gallium is offered as round shot or formless metal, since at room temperature, the metal is close to its melting point

Purity Grades

Purity grades available range from 4N to 6N.

Packaging

As gallium can corrode various metals, it is stored and transported in containers that meet regulatory safety standards.

Liquid Metal

Gallium (liquid metal) alloys combine gallium with indium and tin. These alloys are liquid at room temperature.
